O quite.
*Less than best sonnet*
Take one boiling poet and remove from heat.
Whip up the remaining juices to a creamy
consistency, all the time softly humming
that old 50s favorite. What's the word
drizzle balmy acetic on the purée,
stand well back and sniff. Not recommended
to the over-eights or bob's your father.
All this is general knowledge to the caviar,
yet - here commenceth the singularly
useless
sestet - (wait for the annotated pancake is
my advice)
the sting is never drawn in the cuisine
of poesy's pre-warmed and louche tureen.
Your sonnets are much better.
